Sounds Impressive Used with or without optional rockwool insulation panels, all four different millings of Echolinear panelling deliver highly effective sound absorption across a broad frequency spectrum. As the following ISO 354 measurements show, the unique combinations of millings and drillings imbue each of the four with particular characteristics that lend themselves to specific environments.

Mounting System Structure

When using Echolinear as acoustic wall cladding, you will require the following support structure parts and materials:

— (A) metal omega support rails 3000 x 18 x 26mm

—(B) starter clips— (C) butterfly plates for anchoring

planks to the omega rails and screws for securing the plates

— fixing accessories / either self- tapping screws, or screws plus expansion fixings, depending on the type of support wall (third party supplied)

— rockwool insulation panels (optional – third party supplied)

Sound AdviceStorage & Acclimatisation

You must store Echolinear packs indoors and protect them from humidity; 48 hours prior to installing, open the Echolinear packs in the installation location and allow the planks to stabilise at the ambient conditions.

The environment in which you are installing Echolinear must have been conditioned prior for at least 24 hours, and have a temperature of at least 15˚C and humidity between 40% and 60%.

Wall Installation

4

Installation ➊ Secure the metal omega rails to the wall at intervals of approximately 600mm, and at right angles to the orientation of the Echolinear planks.

➋ Then lay rockwool between the rails.

➌ For horizontal orientations, mount the first plank with the female side towards the floor and secure it with the special starter clips;

➍ Then insert the butterfly plates to anchor the male side.

➎ Mount subsequent planks above the first, securing them in the same way. For vertically oriented installations, start from one side and proceed in the same way, screw fixing at least every fourth butterfly plate.

Jointing

You have various jointing options when laying Echolinear planks end to end, including:— leaving a gap between the two

planks, the same width as the milling

— butt-joining the ends in a random or hinged configuration, and securing them together using the special joining springs (to a maximum of two planks).

When deciding between these alternatives, remember that the length of Echolinear planks can vary according to differing environmental humidity conditions.

Walls requiring the jointing of more than three planks require expansion joints to be designed into the installation.
